The whole god damned universe is a public space. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE WAS ONCE A TOTALLY PUBLIC REALM. But it was decided that people don't want everything to be known to everyone. Why do we have tinted windows in cars? Window shades in houses? Unlisted phone numbers? Because it was left to people to decide what of their actions that they wanted to be publicly known.
What is the internet if it is not an ONLINE UNIVERSE, the only difference is that we have yet to lay down rules as to what is OK for other people to see and know. That is why it needs to be US the people, not mega-corps, who need to decide what is fair game.

What we need are tinted windows, shades, and other cyber forms of privacy concealers on the Internet. Since my life is not private online, I would need some tinted window to protect me.
I agree that corporations should not be deciding for me what is fair. They don't know me. They think with money and how to gain it. Why do I want privacy? Why do people NOT want it?
Thats a really interesting point for there to be cyber window shades and tinted windows. If there were ways for people who want privacy to protect themselves I think it would solve a lot of the problems that people in class are arguing about.
Think about the other countries in the world that are already going into this direction. For example, Tibet has a ban on youtube. Tibet is not the only one as the list is growing. For those citizens, that is what they have been used to so it is nothing new not to have direct access to youtube.
If we start heading into this direction will the government start banning too many websites? Should the government be tasked with this job or should it be some sort of third party agency?
